Concerning editing posts.... The way i run it on my board is there is a mod that allows you to specify an edit time... That way if someone actually DOES need to edit it for a mistake, they can.. but after 15 minutes, they can't touch it.

Although!

Be warned that the latest version of phpbb is going to be a HUGE overhaul, and the coders are saying that practically no modificatinos will work with it.. everything will have to be re written. Evidently in the early stages of builing phpbb2's databse, they didnt build it in a way that would be ideal for handling huge loads on the database, so rather than continuing building on a crappyer code, they are redoing stuff. This is why I haven't updated mine, and wont until the new phpbb comes out.. Which will have a lot of new modifications to it anyways.

This is my first experience with phpbb2, so this is great information. In following their site, I know a new version is close. Unfortunately, I also read rumor that there may be some issues upgrading from 1.3 to 1.4, and that all new boards need to be built if you're using 1.4. I do hope I misunderstood about that. I'm sure that even after 1.4 comes out, it'll just be a matter of time before someone develops a 1.3 -> 1.4 converter that's stable, so I'll cross my fingers and hope.

ah the power of admins. such a cherished title yet so unsatisfying in the grand scheme of things. almost like middle management. without the pay raise. i knew a few once. even dabbled in it. but i lost my grip and had to slip. i miss that pool. perhaps ill dig my shorts out of the closet and go for a dip.
